Whitewash is such a classic distressed look. I love the color of the white-painted pots and it makes a simple boring pot into one with personality.

Here you can learn how to whitewash Terra Cotta pots for a lovely summer front porch display!

STEP BY STEP PROCESS FOR WHITEWASHING

Water your white paint down just a bit, so it is runny enough to run off your brush slightly. A little bit of paint goes a long way with this project.

2

Dab your brush on paper towels until most of the wetness is left on the towel.  You want your brush to still have paint on it, but to be mostly dry.

3

In no particular fashion, allow your brush strokes to streak the white paint onto the terra cotta pot, working in small sections at a time.

4

Once you’ve painted a small section, quickly wipe the paint with a paper towel. This blends the strokes of the brush and gives the pot a white-washed look rather than a white-painted look.
